AN INDIANAPOLIS woMAN'S WRONGS.
Why Milton Weston, the Millionaire Con-
vict, Failed to Secure Pardon.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. I7.-It has recently
been stated that a woman is at the bottom of
the refusal Of the pardon board to listen favor
ably to the pleas of Milton Weston, the million
aire penitentiary convict woman has filed
a long protest against the pardon of the pris-
oner in the shape of deposition in which she
eloquently describes the wrongs to which she
has been subjected at his hands She gives her
name as Minnie Dunham. She says she is the
daughter Of Lutheran bishop, and claims Ger
many as the place of her nativity. She resided
several years in the family of D. S. Schurmann
in Indianapolis. This gentleman man of
wealth. treated her of the family and
bequeathed her $4,000 After Schurmanns
death his children were sent TO school in Massa-
chusetts and desiring to see them she started
to that State by rail. While seated in a car
a gentleman introduced himself as the friend Of
her friends at indianapolis He offered his pro-
that he was an unmarried man. manifested
deep interest in her, and by dint of assiduous
attentions. unusual gallantry and successful ef
fort to make himself pleasant and agreeable COM
pletely won her respect The acquaintance cul-
minated in an intimacy, and confidence which
warranted him in making her the keeper of his
was very confding and induced her to indorse
a draft for several hundred dollars, on which he
obtained the amount of money which he said
was necessary to insure the success of finan-
cial scheme. He departed on trip, and on his
return gave her glowing account of his pros
poets, but added that failure might yet attend
his efforts for the want Of $1,000. which he de-
sired her to give him. She had nothing but
bonds. and he promised to invest them profita
bly, for her. and gave her mortgage on prop
erty which he claimed to in Newark. n.
j., and Chicago Bonds to the amount of 81 800
were given him. and he disappeared and she
did not hear from him for twelve months
Meantime the draft had been dishonored. Be-
fore he departed he approached her with the
statement that he had told her deliberate lie
when he said he was unmarried. He had sepa-
rated from his wife, however, and expected a
divorce She next heard of his making trip
through Europe with his wife, doubt using
her funds to pay the expenses. In 1877 she
went to New York and had him arrested when
he made his boast that if he could get his eye
on her he could make her consent to his dis
charge. She decoyed into his counsel's Of
flee, where she met him, and he appealed pathet-
ically to her for mercy, and said that he was ex-
pecting large sums for something sold to the
Russian government He also promised to give
her every cent he owed her. and gave his note
for the entire amount borrowed She never got

RAILROAD CONDUCTORS.
The Difficulties a Train Captain Has t.
Keep His Place.

Keep His Place.
Railroads do not often reinstate a
man after he has been bounced" said a
veteran of the rail to me as we were
laundering along his road. "a pas
senger conductor is generally one who
has been promoted from the brakes.
Sometimes an engineer is made a con-
ductor, but you will find these things
an exception. Companies like to keep
good engineers at the throttle. They
had rather give them more pay than
to promote them. AS rule it is first
brakeman on freight, then to the
same place OH a passenger, then con-
ductor on freight and by and by to
the passenger train by mighty slow
coaches. Many passenger conduct
or has to work as ''an extra" for two
years or more before he gets train
of his own. And then, when the COW
eted place is in sight he has a wreck.
and if he hasn't a mighty good case
and occasionally influence he gets
bounced. Then he has to go to some
other road and begin at the bottom.
II know man who has worked up
this way for ten years. The very first
run he had with his regular train there
was smashup, and after the investi-
CATION he was fired. He had saved up
about 81, 500. He took this money and
went on the Board of Trade, and lost
every dollar in less than week. He
went to railroading again. at the
brakes on a freight for another COM
pany, and has just been put on as con-
ductor of freight on a Western road
that kills about six conductors every
year. Barring the dangers OF an en-
gineer, his place is the best on the
road. 1t is mighty seldom that an
engineer, if he escapes is held to &C
count for an accident The Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers is the
strongest and staunchest organization
on the face of the earth. and is the only
one that railroad directory Is afraid
OF. But the place of conductor, espe-
cially passenger conductor. is the most
ungrateful and uncertain that a man
can hold. - Chicago Mail.

THE BEST POLICY.

A Doctor Considers Honesty the First
Great Essential in Sick-Room.
"What is the first great essential in
the sick-roomP"
Three score or more of young nurses
struggled with this question at re-
cent examination until their heads,
hearts and hands ached, and the old
gray-headed professor who put the
question smiled and shook his head in
the negative as one after another got
up and tried to answer the conundrum
in manner satisfactory to their aged
and experienced interrogation. The
| answers ranged from ''quietude. ""air'
and ga patient through the list of
pharmaceutical preparations down to
"a good doctor and "a good nurse"
when fin ally the professor answered the
question himself
Honesty. That is the first great
thing necessary in a sick room," said
he. 1.-The best tire to begin the

is also well to do all things necessary
